Azole MOA
inhibition of 14-alpha-demethylase causes inhibition of ergosterol synthesis resulting in accumulation of toxic sterols in the cell membrane
Echinocandins MOA
inhibition of beta-1,3 glucan synthase causing inhibition of beta- 1,3 & beta-1,6 glucans synthesis causing fungal cell walls to become structurally abnormal and susceptible to osmotic stress
Isoniazid MOA
acylates NADH and prevents if from reducing alkene in FA synthesis ultimately blocking mycolic acid synthesis and disrupting the cell wall
Rifampin MOA
inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase (DDRP):
-π-π bonding between naphthalene & aromatic amino acids of DDRP
-chelation to Zn present in DDRP (OH @ C1 & C8)
-hydrogen bonding to enzyme (OH @ C21 & C28)
Ethambutol MOA
-inhibition of arabinosyl transferase which ultimately inhbits LAM and AG destroying integrity of cell wall
-blocks RNA synthesis

-lowers pH of media
-antimetabolite of NAD synthesis which is necessary for FA synthesis
-inhibits the gene that endocdes for FA synthase I thus inhibiting FA synthesis

-can dry out & retain infectivity
-can survive GI
-elicit protective antibody response
Envelope Virus
-envelope membrane
-environmentally liable
released via cell lysis & budding
-must stay wet to remain infectious
-do not survive GI
-spread via blood, body secretions, & transplants
-elicit cell-mediated immune response or hypersensitivity & inflammation response

neutralize and inhibit Influenza A viral uncoating preventing virus from penetrating host cells
Ribavirin MOA
causes alteration of cellular nucleotide pools and inhibition of viral mRNA synthesis
